Vehicles With Ford-approved Aftermarket Remote Start Systems
When using a Ford-approved aftermarket remote start system, the
vehicle recognizes the remote start system as an additional admin key.
It is the vehicle’s default setting. You can also program the remote start
as a MyKey. As a result, the MyKey system status menu display includes
the remote start system as an additional key in the total count of
MYKEY(S) PROGRAMMEDorADMIN KEYS PROGRAMMED.
SeeChecking MyKey System Status.
When you start your vehicle with a Ford-approved aftermarket remote
start system, the system stalls the vehicle after you open the door or
shift the vehicle into gear. This is intentional. When you restart your
vehicle, it reads your real key (traditional key or intelligent key fob)
status instead of the remote start system’s status.
As an added precaution, owners of vehicles equipped with traditional
keys may want to program the remote start system as a MyKey, if the
MyKey driver uses the remote start fob. That way, when the MyKey
driver starts the vehicle with the remote start system, the MyKey
restrictions remain active.
With a Ford-approved aftermarket remote start system, it is possible to
program all real keys as MyKeys unintentionally. If this happens, then the
remote start fob is the admin key. If you want to have only one real key
as a MyKey, or do not want to have any MyKeys, then you need to use
your remote start to clear all MyKeys. In that case, follow these steps:
•Enter the vehicle and close all doors.
•Remote start the vehicle using your remote start fob.
•SeeClearing All MyKeys. Follow Steps 1-3.
After clearing your MyKeys, you can create a new MyKey. SeeCreating
a MyKey.
Note:For vehicles with intelligent access keys (push-button start), you
cannot program the remote start system as a MyKey. Always treat the
remote start fob as you would any other admin key.
Vehicles With Non-Ford-approved Aftermarket Remote Start Systems
MyKey is not compatible with non-Ford-approved aftermarket remote
start systems. If you choose to install a remote start system, please see a
Ford authorized dealer for a Ford-approved system.

The following informationmayhelp customers who choose to install a
non-Ford-approved remote start system. The actions provided below
do not make MyKey compatible with non-Ford-approved remote start
systems, but may help you retain some MyKey functions.
When using a non-Ford-approved remote start system, the vehicle may
recognize the remote start system as an additional admin key with its
associated privileges. If you restart the vehicle by inserting a key into the
ignition cylinder and recycling the ignition completely, then you may
retain some MyKey functions. This action forces your vehicle to read the
traditional key instead of the remote start fob and then uses the key’s
associated privileges.
